1) Area international POPular group, most commonly known as Area, is an Italian avant-prog and jazz fusion band formed in the end of 1972. They are known for being one of the most important and astonishing combos in their genre of all times. They have been compared to Gentle Giant for the extreme complexity combined with an elegant and debonair use of polyrhythms; but they had a stronger attitude in managing middle east musical structures and elements, from odd rhythms to the use of tone fourths. And any of these elements are always jointed by a free-jazz attitude and even electronics.
They were left-wing fine intellectuals and coupled their very high level compositions with poetical and elegant lyrics, criticizing conservative model with metaphors and rhetorical figures, avoiding gross and bold attacks such as left-wing punks usually did; or joking about philosophical statements, again with a lucid and brilliant style.
First asset was: Demetrio Stratos (singer and lyricist), Giulio Capiozzo (drums and percussions), Patrick Djivas (bass, later leaved for Premiata Forneria Marconi and was substituted by Ares Tavolazzi) Eddie Busnello (saxophone, flutes), Johnny Lambizzi (guitar, later was substituted by Paolo Tofani), Leandro Gaetano (piano).

The first verse of Area's song "Brujo" speaks about various entities that can alter one's state of being, such as oxygen, zero (possibly indicating a state of emptiness), and barbiturics, which are drugs that can induce sedation. The verse also mentions magnetism, input, and output, which could indicate the interplay between one's internal and external environment. The concept of logos, meaning divine reason or wisdom, is also mentioned, possibly indicating a search for a deeper understanding of one's existence. The verse ends with a reference to exorcism and the desire to cleanse oneself from any negative influences.
The second verse of the song speaks more directly about the singer's personal struggle. They allude to the idea of "oxidizing the cables of their freedom," meaning that they want to cut ties with anything that may be limiting them. They also mention that their "merchandise" will not serve anyone, possibly alluding to their own creative output. They express a sense of creative stagnation and a desire to once again be able to "design totality," or create something complete and meaningful.
Through these lyrics, "Brujo" seems to explore themes of introspection, personal struggle, and the search for meaning. The references to various entities that can alter one's state of being and the desire for purification and transcendence suggest a desire for transformation and growth.
